The commute this morning was nice, but it took me 30 minutes to complete the ~5 mile commute! I do have to ride on the sidewalk across the bridge, as the cars travel over 55mph over the bridge. That's not -really- a problem, since people don't walk across the bridge; only cyclists use the sidewalk, but there are some parts of the sidewalk that are just really rough on my bike! So, when I enter the bridge, I walk my bike across the roughest parts (where getting onto the bridge is like hopping onto a short curb), but that takes too much time...oh well!

Yesterday, I had 10 minutes to get to the other side of campus, and when I was stopped at an intersection to turn right, and I found one opportunity to do so, a pedestrian (who wasn't paying attention to anything but her cell phone) started crossing the street...I was almost late because of that! Also, around the quad, they have changed the bike lanes on the service only roads so that both directions of the bike lane are together and on one side of the road. The problem is that these cross paths with bus stops (so people stand in the lanes), maintenance workers park their vehicles in the lanes, and people just straight up walk down the road in the bike lane, and are confused when someone tells them to walk on the sidewalk! The joys of a college campus?
